Red Giant Keyer for Nonlinear Editing
October 27, 2004
San Francisco, CA - Red Giant Software's Primatte Keyer now supports Avid nonlinear editing systems and Discreet combustion 3 desktop compositing software, the manufacturer has announced.
Previously only available as an After Effects plug-in, Primatte Keyer's enhanced versatility adds increased functionality to the production pipeline of independent filmmakers and visual effects artists.
Primatte Keyer, published under exclusive agreement with Photron USA, enables users to extract keys from any color background. The software
overcomes matte extraction challenges including uneven lighting, subtle shadows, and edge light contamination (spill) prior to compositing.
Capabilities include:
-- Use the mouse to sample foreground and background areas, eliminate spill, and correct imprecise edges and transparency.
-- Generate mattes by pulling a key from any color background.
-- Adjust properties of sampled foreground color to remove spill using enhanced detail and transparency adjustments.
-- Key transparent objects such as hair, water, and smoke without endless hours of additional tweaking.
Three versions of Primatte Keyer v1.6 are available now:
-- Primatte Keyer for Adobe After Effects and Discreet combustion 3 ($495 USD)
-- Primatte Keyer AVX for Avid Media Composer Adrenaline ($995 USD)
-- Primatte Keyer Editors for Avid Xpress Pro ($495)
